Davide Nanni marries Giulia Schirinzi in Nardò: a cathedral wedding for “Chef Wild.”

NARDO' - It was a special day in Nardò for Davide Nanni, the Abruzzo-born chef known to the public as "Chef Wild," who married Giulia Schirinzi, a native of Nardò, today in the Salento town.

A marriage that brings one of the most recognizable faces of Italian television cuisine to the heart of Salento. Originally from Castrovalva, Abruzzo, Davide Nanni has made a name for himself for his authentic and unconventional style, rooted in local cuisine, nature, and the traditions of his homeland.

Television audiences also encountered him on “È sempre mezzogiorno!”, the Rai 1 program hosted by Antonella Clerici, where Nanni brought his unique interpretation of Abruzzo cuisine and his “wild chef” persona, which also became popular on social media with the motto “J so wild”.

Today, her television career continues on Food Network, where she stars, alongside Paride Vitale, in the program "D'amore e d'Abruzzo," dedicated to the flavors, places, and stories of her region.

But for once, the spotlight wasn't on the food. The focus of the day was his love story with Giulia Schirinzi and the choice to celebrate their wedding in Nardò, the bride's hometown.

The ceremony in the Cathedral gave the city an unusual and highly anticipated presence, with the Abruzzese chef sharing one of the most important moments of his life with family, friends, and guests.

From the woods of Abruzzo to the television kitchens, all the way to the heart of Salento: for Davide Nanni today is a new chapter in his life, this time away from the stove and before the altar, together with his Giulia.
